Adaptive set point modulation to mitigate transients in power systems

摘要

This paper presents an adaptive control strategy to improve the transient response of a stressed power system apparatus. This strategy, based on the set point automatic adjustment with correction-enabled (SPAACE), is an auxiliary control method to enhance the set point tracking of an apparatus. SPAACE modifies the set point of the controllable apparatus using a feedback signal from its output to mitigate transients that can be caused by events such as faults, load variations, and large reference set point changes. In this work, an adaptive version of SPAACE (ASPAACE), which uses an adaptive dead-zone band, adaptive scaling factor, and exponential prediction is introduced. Moreover, this study investigates the relationship between the natural frequency of the system and the prediction horizon of the ASPAACE controller. To demonstrate the performance of ASPAACE, different case studies are presented.
